Dave Roberts and Terry Francona Named Managers of the Year

Dave Roberts of the Los Angeles Dodgers won the National League Manager of the Year Award on Tuesday, while Terry Francona of the Cleveland Indians earned the American League’s honor.

Roberts won in his first year as a manager.

Members of the Baseball Writers’ Association of America voted at the end of the regular season. The awards were announced on MLB Network.

Roberts beat out Joe Maddon, who led the Chicago Cubs to the World Series championship, and the Washington Nationals’ Dusty Baker.

Roberts led Los Angeles to the N.L. West title despite the Dodgers placing 28 different players on the disabled list, more than any team in the past 30 years.

Francona guided a club hit by injuries and drug suspensions to a first-place finish in the A.L. Central. The Indians had a 3-1 lead in the World Series before the Cubs rallied.

Jeff Banister of the Texas Rangers finished second, and Buck Showalter of the Baltimore Orioles was third.

METS HIRE A THIRD-BASE COACH The Mets hired Glenn Sherlock, who spent the previous 19 years with the Arizona Diamondbacks’ coaching staff, as the team’s new third-base coach. Sherlock, 56, will also serve as a catching instructor, which the Mets hope can help some of their players, particularly Travis d’Arnaud.

Sherlock will replace Tim Teufel as the third-base coach. Teufel, who had held the position since 2012, was an infielder on the 1986 World Series champion Mets.

The Mets said that Teufel had been offered another position within the organization. Sherlock, a former minor league catcher, spent the previous two seasons as the Diamondbacks’ bench coach. JAMES WAGNER

Cavaliers Add to Their Fast Start

LeBron James had 28 points and 14 assists, Kyrie Irving scored 24 points, and the Cleveland Cavaliers beat the visiting Toronto Raptors, 121-117, to match their best start in franchise history after 10 games.

It was another tense matchup between the teams that met in last season’s Eastern Conference finals.

Channing Frye’s 3-pointer from the top of the key with 59 seconds left put the Cavaliers up by 1. Cleveland then buckled down on defense, holding Toronto scoreless until Kyle Lowry made a layup with 2.8 seconds left.

HORNETS 115, TIMBERWOLVES 108 Kemba Walker scored 30 points, and Charlotte blitzed Minnesota in the third quarter to earn a victory in Minneapolis.

Goff Expected to Start for the Rams

Multiple news media outlets reported that quarterback Jared Goff will make his N.F.L. debut on Sunday, when Goff, the No. 1 overall pick in the 2016 draft, starts for the Los Angeles Rams.

Goff watched the first nine games of his rookie season on the sideline for the Rams (4-5), who have struggled on offense. The veteran Case Keenum has started every game.

But the Rams decided it is time to see what they have in Goff after their offense failed to score a touchdown in last weekend’s 9-6 victory over the Jets.

TENNIS

Djokovic Advances in London

Novak Djokovic edged closer to the year-end No. 1 ranking in London.

Djokovic, ranked No. 2, defeated Milos Raonic, 7-6 (6), 7-6 (5), to qualify for the semifinals of the ATP World Tour Finals and improve his record against Raonic to 8-0.

Djokovic is 2-0 at the season-ending tournament, and he will retake the top ranking from Andy Murray if he does better this week. Murray is 1-0 so far, and he will play his second match on Wednesday against Kei Nishikori.
